Awareness of the need for adaptation as a response to climate change

Awareness of the need for adaptation has a public dimension and is reflected in awareness of the public at large, including within communities, business and organisations. It also has a political dimension that is reflected in adaptation reaching the national political agenda and in the willingness to take adaptation actions. In addition, awareness of the need for adaptation is also reflected in the provision of, and need (by public and policy) for, scientific evidence.
